The wildlife here astounds me How they make it through the winter is beyond me.
Brian, Those pictures you posted of the squirrel were precious.
Squirrels are everywhere I think but it's always nice when you have one that claims your yard. We have lots of red squirrels here. They are smaller than the Fox or Grey squirrel and really hyper. They claim our yard and drive off the bigger squirrels. We also have black squirrels here.
Two weeks ago we realized all the birds were gone from the feeder. That usually happens when there is a predator around. I looked out the window and a Sharp Shinned Hawk was sitting on the railing of our deck. What a sight.
Oh! I forgot to mention Turkey Vultures Morning doves(daily visitors) Rabbits(but not many, too many predators)
This area is a Sandhill Crane flyway. When they are migrating we see large flocks overhead. I think they look like Clingon Warbirds from Startrek, LOL Most go further north but we get a fair number that summer here also. I should list the snakes I've seen Blue Racers are my favorite. I had one living under the porch for a couple years.
